For a richer flavor, consider using chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. A pinch of smoked paprika can add a delightful smoky depth to the dish. If you don't have white wine, you can substitute with an equal amount of chicken broth or water with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime for an extra burst of freshness.
